Here are a few important things to keep in mind before you choose your cushion cover –

What sizes to go for?

Size is an essential factor to consider while choosing throw cushion cover, either to fit the pillow properly or to decorate the space elegantly. We understand the different areas in your house or office you'd like to fill in with throw cushion covers. But often you take a step back due to the lack of availability in sizes. You don't need to compromise anymore in your quest for perfection. Apart from the popular sizes, there are many other sizes available at The HomeCentric to suit each space of your décor 45 x 45 cm, 50 x 50 cm, 55 x 55 cm, and 60 x 60 cm are the most popular sizes for a sofa, chair, study, office, and even bed. There are other sizes like 30 x 30 cm, 35 x 35 cm, 40 x 40 cm, and also 65 x 65 cm. Pick them accordingly; you have a range of options to choose from.

What are the popular fabrics used and what types of shapes are available?

Fabrics are important; they define the style of your décor. The HomeCentric presents you with the best materials for cushion covers. Some popular fabrics are cotton, velvet, linen, and other on-trend fabrics range from felt, suede, leather, and polyester to satin, jacquard, and silk. Cotton and linen are widely preferred for summers. While suede, velvet, leather, jacquard are picked according to the color tone of the décor. Satin and silk are great for making a statement; they simply depict luxury in each color and design.

The shapes of throw cushion covers are also what adds a spark to the ambiance. We all know how lumber pillows have comforted us for ages, from the peaceful sleep in the bedroom to that sofa gossip with a lumbar pillow on your lap. Our collection includes square pillow covers and round pillow covers, too, for that extra drama. The throw cushion covers in our assortment come in shapes like rectangle, lumbar, round, and square. Each shape has its own style that beautifies the ambiance.

What are the key points to keep in mind while choosing a cushion cover for a pillow insert?

• The first thing is to know the size of your pillow, easy? Yes, that's just it. Knowing the size of your pillow, you could easily pick the right pillowcase, whether it’s square, round, or lumbar.
• The next key point is to note the filling in your pillow. Mostly, to attain the right shape, foam is used for round pillows. Down pillows are softer, yes, definitely costly, but they are worth it. Then comes polyester, which        is widely popular and also used for decorative cushion covers. Once you know the filling, you'll know what kind of cover you need.
• After checking the size and fabric of the cushion cover according to your choice and space, choose if you want it for decorative purposes or solely for comfort.

 

What are the different styles and patterns of a throw  cushion cover?

Choosing pillow covers goes way beyond just picking the right color for your  cushion cover– it's about exploring different styles and patterns of throw cushion covers too. At The HomeCentric, we have various cushion covers segregated into themes that range from contemporary to Victorian, modern to traditional, and Asian to the Mediterranean, along with tropical and beach styles. These themes bring plenty of unique and exotic styles to the table. All these styles consist of elements that create a feel of the theme and reflect it through the color or detailing on the throw cushion cover. Small shells can signify a lot about a theme, also the different hues. Similarly, if we go by patterns, there is a wide range starting from abstract to animal, birds to sea creatures, chevrons to stripes, floral to geometric, and so many more.

 

What kind of artwork or details can you find on throw cushion covers?

The beauty of throw cushion covers lies in the skill of the designer who precisely picks each piece taking into context different elements like theme, fabric, pattern, and finish. The creative work done on each cushion cover is specifically chosen to create a different vibe. From color to fabric, each element complements the make of the cushion cushion. But what adorns the pillow cover the most are the details on it that reflect its excellent craftsmanship. The beaded work, for example, is done carefully to form a systematic sequence of its design. Similarly, the embroidery is tailored to make a chic pattern, while pearls and rhinestones are placed thoughtfully to enrich the appeal of the throw cushion cover. Soft pintucks and ruffles just make the design more comforting, and sequins provide an excellent finish to the decorative cushion covers.

What are the popular color palettes for throw cushion covers?

A piece of décor can't just go without talking about its color. Color is something that not only reflects your taste and psychology of how you feel, but also creates a specific vibe. The popular shades of throw pillow covers range from beige to blue, maroon, gray, and brown. But, it's not necessary that a popular color would always match your style; it's good to be unique, right?

• So, while choosing a color for your cushion cover, remember the color tone of the space you want to put it in.
• Then make sure you’re keeping the same pattern for different colors or same colors with various patterns or creating a color duo or trio with a single pattern.
• Once you decide the pattern or theme, accordingly choose the color either in warm shades or in cooler tones.
• If you already have cushion covers with contrasting shades, then a good option would be to pick colors that would neutralize those tones, like beige, white, gray, or black.
• The final step is to notice if the color you are choosing is going with the fabric or if other fabrics might complement it better.

Considering all these points, you will easily pick your pillow cover.

What are the different closure types of a throw cushion cover?

Here are a few different types of closures –

• An envelope closure that is simply a tie-up closure from both sides, resembling an envelope.
• Then, a zipper closure, which is a zipper, to secure the insert.
• Another one is the drawstring closure that allows for tightening up the cushion covers closure and secures it with a perfect fit.
• The flap closure is a simple flap covering the cushion cover that ensures easy access for its removal.

Out of all these closures, the one that really allows access, proper securing of the insert, and helps maintain the cleanliness of insert is the zipper closing. It is an easy, simple, and long-lasting way and works for both decorative pillow covers as well as cushion covers for just comfort.

 

What are the tips for decorating your décor with throw cushion covers?

The best tip is to follow your heart while keeping these 3 basic things in mind –

• Color
• Pattern
• Fabric

Yes, the perfect combination of these three elements will do the magic.
Choose the color according to your furniture, complementing the color tones of your curtains, sofas, walls, and other elements in your home. It is also important to select fabrics and patterns that complement the shade and create the vibes that you like. Pick a theme like traditional, modern, Victorian, or whatever you like, and you are good to go!

 

How to arrange cushion on sofas and sectionals?

For arranging pillows on sofas and sectionals, there are three basic requirements –

• Select the cushion by color or pattern. If you are choosing a different color, make sure the pattern is the same or vice versa.
• Secondly, see how many of them you have. Pick a number from three to five. Six is well, too much, and less than three, it feels incomplete.
• Place them according to the color or pattern you have chosen, in case of the same pattern, make sure to add a neutral tone like beige, black, brown, or white between them. If you go by the same color, then no matter the pattern, they will all look great.

Just a quick tip, place the throw cushion covers in a way that highlights their silhouette properly. For instance, a square-shaped cushion can be placed like a diamond.
Also, for lumbar cushion, don't choose a number exceeding three, or it would look like another bed.

How to maintain throw cushion covers?

• For throw pillow covers, dry cleaning is the best option to maintain the look and originality of the product.
• When ironing, make sure to keep the temperature on a low degree. But remember for decorative cushions with delicate embroideries, we recommend placing a cloth over the cushion and suggest you iron it on the       backside.

Just keep in mind not to leave your soft furnishings out in the sun for too long.

 

What creates a difference in the price range of throw pillow covers?

The price range of throw pillow covers is generally affected by the material used in its craftsmanship. Apart from the design and its finishing, some elements mainly create a difference in the price range.

• Fabric is a major factor since we know how some fabrics are more sought after than others. They have a higher demand and therefore a higher price too.
• Detailing is the next key point since the technique, and hard work required to properly place each bead, sequin, or any other embellishment, and even embroidery requires skill and time and consequently drives up the cost.
